why are dams over rivers made broader at the bottom than at the top

Answers

Answered by Superteen

The reason is that the pressure increases as we go deeper and deeper into the water. So, the pressure is greatest at the bottom of the water. So, to withstand the pressure, dams are made broader at the bottom.
